Q: The only problem I see is that Firefox doesn't make the sub-menus the right height, and doesn't support the dropshadow, any window effect, although IE6 works fine.
Is there a way to get FF to display correctly?
A: You can't see the shadow in Firefox because filters are supported byInternet Explorer 5+ only.

Try to specify units in "px".
Please, write so:
var itemPadding="3px";
Q: I have been trying for months to find an answer to my submenu problem using your FAQ and Recent Questions.
The only thing that comes close to an answer is from one of your Recent Questions below, but I don't understand the answer. Will you please give me specific code or info to fix? Please refer to my frameset code and data.js info, which I've provided further down this message.
I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).
I am using the script and data from your sample file, it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top javascript hide menu.
A: Yes, I suppose that the reason is in your frame structure. For examplenow you have:
top -------------------
**MENU**
left--|main------------
|
| **submenus**
|
Try to add additional frame in your top frame with the same width asyour left frame has:
l-top-|right-top-----------------
| **MENU**
left--|main----------------------
|
| **submenus**
|
Q: Is there a way to capture user click event just like the one in the javascript menu sliding?
A: Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick/onContextMenu event to each item.
However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:
var menuitems = [
["<div onContextMenu='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
Q: I want you to start modifying on your menu items in menu.js to get the caption from prestext. If you look at the bottom of commonfooter.html, you will see code like
<a target="_top" class="sidenav" href="<%=strprefex%>WillPlanning.asp?SessionID=<%
=sessionid%>&UserName=<%=Username%>" onclick="RedirectToParentPage=''; return CheckForChanges(1024,'')">
<%=GetPresText("WillCreatorBug",rsmenu)%></a>
A: You can use any html tags within item text, for example:
var menuItems = [
["<a target='_top' class='sidenav' href='<%=strprefex%>WillPlanning.asp?SessionID=<% =sessionid%>&UserName=<%=Username%>'
onclick='RedirectToParentPage=''; return CheckForChanges(1024,'')'>Home<%=GetPresText('WillCreatorBug',rsmenu)%></a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
